The clearest difference is rating: Chip CZ at 5.0 against iDNES.cz's 2.7. Chip CZ also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 11%) and ads (none vs shown). iDNES.cz's advantage is ratings volume (11 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iDNES.cz sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per month and Chip CZ sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $10.99 per 3 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
